Indeed.  Google for "monty python self-defence against fresh fruit".

Ezio Melotti  added the comment:

That example was introduced in r16743 as:
>>> spcs = ["  Apple", " Banana ", "Coco  nut  "]
>>> print [s.strip() for s in spcs]
['Apple', 'Banana', 'Coco  nut']

and was changed in r16831 to:
>>> freshfruit = ['  banana', '  loganberry ', 'passion fruit  ']
>>> [weapon.strip() for weapon in freshfruit]
['banana', 'loganberry', 'passion fruit']

I think that the fresh fruits can really be considered as dangerous
weapons - especially the banana.

[Retro]

New submission from Retro :

There's a mistake in the code snippet:

>>> freshfruit = ['  banana', '  loganberry ', 'passion fruit  ']
>>> [weapon.strip() for weapon in freshfruit]
['banana', 'loganberry', 'passion fruit']


The second line should be:
>>> [fruit.strip() for fruit in freshfruit]
['banana', 'loganberry', 'passion fruit']


The old code snippet had weapons as items which many people didn't like,
so the code snippet was changed into a friendlier version. Please fix
this code snippet so that weapons are not involved here, even though the
code is not broken. Thank you.
